While the lowly 19-21 Chicago Bulls are below .500 and barely clinging to the range of teams in the NBA’s play-in tournament at the Eastern Conference’s ninth slot with a 2-game lead over the 11th-place Washington Wizards, they also happen to be one of just a handful of teams in the league that have blown out the mighty 28-12 Boston Celtics currently in possession of the league’s best record in either conference.
And the Bulls have done it twice, at that — what is it about this ball club that makes them such a tough matchup for Boston? Should we expect a similar level of difficulty for the two team’s third meeting of the season, or were the prior two meetings just Boston working through early-season hiccups?
